How to get current console foreground/background colors in C#?

Question

How can I get current console colors (foreground/background)?

I have a method to output single line with changed foreground:

    public void ColorLine(string line, System.ConsoleColor foreground)
    {
        // maybe save original foreground color here

        // then change it 
        System.Console.ForegroundColor = foreground;

            // write line
            System.Console.WriteLine(line);

        // set original color
        System.Console.ForegroundColor = // original foreground color;
    }

use `Console.ForegroundColor` and store it in variable like `var currentColor = Console.ForegroundColor;` — Hesam Faridmehr, May 19 '18 at 12:36
